Hi all! I applied from Canberra Aus on Jan 5th, I received my first correspondence for supporting docs on Jan 29th. Three times they have asked me to supply a VEVO check/status but I am Aus citizen so in the end I supplied a pdf with 2 things (a letter to them stating I’m not eligible to show status in VEVO, a copy of my Aus passport). I had previously already supplied my Aus passport (in the application initially). Then they asked for another supporting document of proof (Jan 30th) I’m able to work in Thailand by my company. I’m a freelancer and supplied this letter with my initial application. Then I submitted a reissue with a bullet point stating ‘the consultant is able to work in Thailand should she wish to’. Today I’m asked for the same thing again so I reattached the same doc (this is a letter from the HR department of my clients which I showed my primary income from).
Anyone else with similar experience? Should I be submitting a different doc/letter to support this? I’m in a fully remote contract and all my contracts states fully remote outside of AUS. 🙏
Flight is leaving in 7 days ☹️

TLDR : Answer Summary
A person applied for a visa from Australia to work remotely in Thailand and has faced repeated requests for supporting documents, particularly proof of their ability to work while based in Thailand. They have already supplied necessary documents, including letters from their company, but are unsure if additional or different documentation is required, especially since they are an Australian citizen and have a fully remote contract. Community members have suggested ways to enhance the supporting documentation.
Sometimes it helps if the letter stating you can work remotely from Thailand also states that you will not interact with any Thai entities or clients inside Thailand
